Blalock wins Dutchess Legislature seat

Debra Blalock has emerged as the winner in the prolonged election for the 19th District of the Dutchess County Legislature.

After absentee and affidavit votes cast in the Town of Stanford were counted today at the Dutchess County Board of Elections, Republican incumbent David Sherman conceded the election, said Erik Haight, the Republican commissioner, and Fran Knapp, the Democratic commissioner.

Counting of close to 200 absentee and affidavit ballots cast in Stanford in the 41st state Senate race today continued to widen Democrat Terry Gipson's unofficial lead over Republican incumbent Steve Saland, Knapp said.

Counting of those ballots from the Town of Amenia is set to begin Tuesday.
